NEW DELHI: A day after the Supreme Court recalled its order scrapping NEET for admission to MBBS, BDS and PG courses, the Union Health Ministry today said that it is “practically” not possible to conduct the examinations this year.
Supreme Court had yesterday recalled its controversial judgement scrapping single common entrance test (NEET) for admission to MBBS, BDS and PG courses in all medical colleges, saying it was delivered by a majority verdict without any discussion among members of the bench headed by the then Chief Justice of India Altamas Kabir on the day of his retirement.
“This year it is practically not possible to do it as the examinations have already been set in motion from way back in December. One or two exams have already been held.
“In other places last dates have gone by. Our own all India PMT which is held every year in May is probably in the first week of May. So practically it is not possible to do it this year,” Union Health Ministry sources said. (AGENCIES)
